Perhaps it was fans constantly claiming that Nicola's behaviour around fellow housemate Jamie O'Hara was inappropriate that caused him to speak out, but whatever it was, he's finally broken his silence.

We all know that there are elements of the Big Brother experience which don't make it to air - medical checks and psychological assessments have always been part of that. So it's very interesting that Tom decided to bring this up on Twitter.

It could potentially have been sparked by Nicola claiming that she has a 'free card' after Tom cheated in Las Vegas. Speaking to fellow housemates after she was worried that her drunken behaviour with Jamie may have been inappropriate, Nicola said, “I don’t have to explain anything, that’s the joy of when someone f***s up so bad, you’ve got a free card.”

Shortly after those scenes aired, Tom posts this jab on Twitter...hmm.

His latest tweet feels like a real dig at Nicola and feels like an attempt to make it seem as though she needs psychological support outside of that which housemates are entitled to.

With Nicola potentially in the Big Brother house for the next few weeks, we're sure there's going to be more drama brewing and we wonder if Tom is going to have any more public outbursts like this.
